Sacred Spaces is an ambitious attempt at proposing religious tolerance in today's Pakistan by recalling to the core values of Sufism, which is all-inclusive in nature. Quraeshi delves into history to allay the nationalist and fundamentalist contentions of the country's hard-line elements, prescribing sermons of the thirteenth century poet Jalaluddin Rumi, among other saints from foregone eras...It includes a dramatic collection of photo montages and calligraphic work of the shrines, the architecture and the people who inhabit these religious centres, with a handful of essays introspecting on the centuries-old traditions of the mystical messages of the Sufis. -- Jaideep Sen Time Out Bengaluru 20100219
